The Red Wings have signed Jake Walman to a three-year contract extension worth $10.2 million ($3.4M AAV).

Walman was a third-round pick in 2014 and was traded to the Red Wings in the Nick Leddy deal last March. The 27-year-old has taken a massive step forward this year, playing on the top-pair with Moritz Seider for the last few months. Walman has a booming slap shot and is a shot-blocking machine in his own-end. On the year, he's scored five goals with five assists (10 points) with 95 SOG and 77 Blks in 40 games.

The Sharks have acquired Fabian Zetterlund, Shakir Mukhamadullin, Nikita Okhotyuk, Andreas Johnsson, a Conditional 2023 1st Round Pick, a Conditional 2024 2nd Round Pick and a 2024 7th Round Pick from the Devils for Timo Meier, Scott Harrington, Santeri Hatakka, Zachary Emond, Timur Ibragimov, and a 2024 5th Round Pick.

Zetterlund has been in-and-out of the Devils lineup this season, scoring six goals with 14 assists (20 points) in 45 games. The 2017 third-round pick has an outstanding shot and will provide some offensive punch in the Sharks' middle-6. Zetterlund should see an increase in usage (12:57 ATOI in NJD) following this trade.
